Vertex form of a parabola
<span>y = a (x - h)^2 + k </span>
<span>where (h, k) is the vertex </span>
Substituting the values of h and k.
we get,
<span>y = a(x + 4)^2 + 2 </span>
<span>substituting in the point (0, -30) for x and y
</span><span>-30 = a (0 + 4)^2 + 2
</span>solve for a,
<span>-30 = 16 a + 2 </span>
<span>-32 = 16 a </span>
<span>-2 = a </span>
<span>y = -2(x + 4)^2 + 2 </span>
<span>Put y = 0 </span>
<span>-2 x^2 - 16 x - 30 = 0 </span>
<span>-2(x^2 + 8 x + 15) = 0 </span>
<span>x^2 + 8 x + 15 = 0 </span>
<span>(x + 3)(x + 5) = 0 </span>
<span>x = -3
x = -5</span>
<span>basically since 30 minutes is half of an hour, to get to a full hour you can multiply by 2, so you do that for both, 2/3 included so you get 2/3 * 2/1 4/3 is 1 1/3</span>
For the answer to the question above, A person drives north 6 blocks, then drives west 6 blocks. the displacement is a straight line from the starting point to the finish in <span>8.49 blocks</span> in a Northwest <span>direction.
The Solution:
</span>A^2+B^2=C^2
6*6+6*6 = sqrt(72)
The answer I’m for sure it’s D
